Should be went to school Eating.
Very few would be on my wish list.
More money than taste.
AND where is the Cygnet ?

What a collection... Not many to my liking but didn't he keep Aston and or Rolls and Bentley afloat during the dark years? So we should be grateful for that. How does he have time to run a country when he has so many toys. And I noticed Bentley have already done the 4x4 for him...

I think he meant to say he went to school with Shirley Eaton.

I'm not sure if living North of Watford Gap is on MG's list of dislikes. Can somebody check please?

Maybe it would help if I was able to embrace modern technology to get my point across.

Yes, he did keep Aston alive during some pretty troublesome times. Iirc, it's actually the brother if the sultan that ordered all these cars.

Yes, I believe the main storage facility is at Prince Jefri’s palace, which I’ve been lucky enough to drive past. I’m going back a few years now, but the facility was/is a cross between a multi-story car park and a car showroom, I would have loved to have had the opportunity to look around. It’s absolutely massive, packed full of cars with sections for each type.

OEs tend to act unfavourably if they are accused of attending Slough Grammer. If I knew how to attach a smiley face to my post, I would have done so.

Bit like you then Michael.

Was he giving you advice on how to invest Mrs Gould's millions? You might as well give them to Cockers for all the good it would do you!

Quite staggering! Just a few quid...

I remember the 'ladies' from Cheltenham well from my days as a pupil at Clifton College about 30-40 miles down the road from there............
